Ultrasonic record cleaners


I have a modest lp collection, mixed bag of original college age purchases, used records before the current renewed interest, and some newer albums to replace some older issues from the p mount needle days.  Have a vpi 16 machine and audio intelligent form 6 fluid. I’m not finding a significant improvement on my noisier issues.  The price of ultrasonic cleaners have come down to a price I would consider.  Appreciate the experiences of those who have purchased the ultrasonic machines, are they superior to my vpi and are the less expensive models effective?

TIA

Have first gen Disc Doctor and Degritter.  Used purchases go through DD and a heavy cycle in Degritter.  New purchases medium setting only Degritter.  Great system.

When looking for an ultrasonic system, I concluded that value only comes from a system that actually cleans and not just bubble.  That requirement makes ultrasonic costly.  If you are needing better cleaning on a couple of dozen records, send them out.  If you want to buy used records, spend the $3000+.
